The Story in Brief
BJP Yuva Morcha workers staged a protest at Freedom Park in Bengaluru on Wednesday, demanding that Minister B. Nagendra resign over the alleged multi-crore scam in the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation. Party leaders raised slogans accusing Congress high command and Rahul Gandhi of being shareholders in the scam.
BJP Yuva Morcha Bengaluru Central district president Jagadish R. Chandra said Nagendra should step down as the probe is ongoing, warning of intensified agitation. Minister Nagendra dismissed the allegations as politically motivated, stating that the charges are before the court and that no money has been recovered from him. He accused the BJP of targeting him because Congress swept all five assembly seats in Ballari.
The Indian Opinion
The usual political theatre is playing out: BJP demands resignation, Congress calls it a conspiracy. Both sides ignore the real issue, Rs 84 crore of tribal welfare funds allegedly stolen. Nagendra says no rupee was recovered from him, but he resigned once already. The CBI is investigating. The test now is whether the courts will deliver faster than politicians change slogans.
